  • The Astronomical Garden of Venus and Mars-NG915: the Pivotal Role Of
    The astronomical garden of Venus and Mars - NG915 : the pivotal role of Astronomy in dating and deciphering Botticelli’s masterpiece Mariateresa Crosta Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF- OATo), Via Osservatorio 20, Pino Torinese -10025, TO, Italy e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This essay demonstrates the key role of Astronomy in the Botticelli Venus and Mars-NG915 painting, to date only very partially understood. Worthwhile coin- cidences among the principles of the Ficinian philosophy, the historical characters involved and the compositional elements of the painting, show how the astronomi- cal knowledge of that time strongly influenced this masterpiece. First, Astronomy provides its precise dating since the artist used the astronomical ephemerides of his time, albeit preserving a mythological meaning, and a clue for Botticelli’s signature. Second, it allows the correlation among Botticelli’s creative intention, the historical facts and the astronomical phenomena such as the heliacal rising of the planet Venus in conjunction with the Aquarius constellation dating back to the earliest represen- tations of Venus in Mesopotamian culture. This work not only bears a significant value for the history of science and art, but, in the current era of three-dimensional mapping of billion stars about to be delivered by Gaia, states the role of astro- nomical heritage in Western culture. Finally, following the same method, a precise astronomical dating for the famous Primavera painting is suggested. Keywords: History of Astronomy, Science and Philosophy, Renaissance Art, Educa- tion. Introduction Since its acquisition by London’s National Gallery on June 1874, the painting Venus and Mars by Botticelli, cataloged as NG915, has remained a mystery to be interpreted [1]1.

  • 1. Budorcas Taxicolor Tibetanus Milne-Edwards.- a Horn of an Adult and Skins and Skulls of Two Very Young Animals, Tai-Pa-Shiang, August 16 and October 25
    59.9(51.4) Article XXIX.- MAMMALS FROM SHEN-SI PROVINCE, CHINA. By J. A. ALLEN. A small collection of mammals from Mount Tai-pai, Shen-si Province, China, recently acquired by the Museum through Mr. Alan Owston of Yokohama, contains several species of interest. It comprises 55 specimens, representing 16 species, some of which appear to be undescribed. The material is rather poorly prepared, the skulls having been left in the skins, and when removed were found to be more or less mutilated, some of them lacking the whole of the postorbital portion. The collection is of interest as coming from a hitherto unexplored locality, the Tai-pa-shiang mountains, on the western border of Shen-si, which are said to reach an altitude of about 11,000 feet. The specimens are mostly labeled simply "Tai-pa- shiang," with the sex of the specimen and date of collection, but a few are labeled as from "Yumonko, foot of Tai-pa-shiang," and others are marked "Si-Tai-pa-shiang." In no case is the altitude indicated. 1. Budorcas taxicolor tibetanus Milne-Edwards.- A horn of an adult and skins and skulls of two very young animals, Tai-pa-shiang, August 16 and October 25. The two specimens are respectively male and female, and differ much in color, the male having the body, except the ventral surface and the dorsal stripe, pale yellowish, the dorsal stripe, the ventral surface and limbs dark dull reddish brown; top of nose and edge of ears blackish. The other has the body nearly white, with the underparts and limbs dark brown; the dorsal stripe is dark brown only over the shoulders, and black mixed with white on the top of the neck and posterior two-thirds of the dorsal line; black hairs are also appearing on the limbs.

  • The Aratean Corpus in Vat. Grec. 1087
    Book reviews 249 Ultimately, this book is aimed at the general reader, more curious about the science of dark matter than its history and sociology. To even begin to understand this complex field, one must take time with this slim volume in order to appreciate how the tiniest subatomic particles are connected to the largest structures of the cosmos. Freese mixes a stiff drink, but it goes down smoothly. LISA MESSERI University of Virginia [email protected] The Aratean corpus in Vat. Grec. 1087 Antiche stele a Bisanzio. Il codice Vaticano Greco 1087. Edited by Fabio Guidetti and Anna Santoni (Edizioni della Normale, Pisa, 2013. Pp. 208 + 31 illustrations. € 20. ISBN 978-88-7642-485-4. For nearly 150 years, scholars have devoted considerable effort trying understand the various means by which the astrothesic knowledge of the Graeco-Roman world passed to the modern age. Thanks to the magisterial work of Paul Kunitzsch and others, our grasp of the tortuous journey of Ptolemy’s Syntaxis mathematike from the original Greek to its Latin translations in the twelfth century has become much firmer. But despite the attention of a far wider range of scholars, the intricacies of the transmission of the Phaenomena of Aratus to the Latin West remain more elusive. This is primarily due to the fact that, soon after its composition, the poem attracted a huge entourage of ancillary material: the so-called ‘Aratean corpus’, composed of a rudimentary star catalogue, sets of celestial maps, a series of illustrated mythological explanations of the forms of the individual constellations and a potted biography of the author.

  • Multi-Messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger
    DRAFT VERSION OCTOBER 6, 2017 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX61 MULTI-MESSENGER OBSERVATIONS OF A BINARY NEUTRON STAR MERGER LIGO SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION,VIRGO COLLABORATION AND PARTNER ASTRONOMY GROUPS (Dated: October 6, 2017) ABSTRACT On August 17, 2017 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time 12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB170817A) with a time-delay of 1.7swith respect to the merger ⇠ time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg2 at a luminosity distance +8 of 40 8 Mpc and with component masses consistent with neutron stars. The component masses were later measured to be in the range− 0.86 to 2.26 M . An extensive observing campaign was launched across the electromagnetic spectrum leading to the discovery of a bright optical transient (SSS17a, now with the IAU identification of AT2017gfo) in NGC 4993 (at 40 Mpc) less ⇠ than 11 hours after the merger by the One-Meter, Two Hemisphere (1M2H) team using the 1-m Swope Telescope. The optical transient was independently detected by multiple teams within an hour. Subsequent observations targeted the object and its environment. Early ultraviolet observations revealed a blue transient that faded within 48 hours. Optical and infrared observations showed a redward evolution over 10 days. Following early non-detections, X-ray and radio emission were discovered at the ⇠ transient’s position 9 and 16 days, respectively, after the merger.

  • The Epoch of the Constellations on the Farnese Atlas and Their Origin in Hipparchus’S Lost Catalogue
    JHA, xxxvi (2005) THE EPOCH OF THE CONSTELLATIONS ON THE FARNESE ATLAS AND THEIR ORIGIN IN HIPPARCHUS’S LOST CATALOGUE BRADLEY E. SCHAEFER, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge 1. BACKGROUND The Farnese Atlas is a Roman statue depicting the Titan Atlas holding up a celestial globe that displays an accurate representation of the ancient Greek constellations (see Figures 1 and 2). This is the oldest surviving depiction of the original Western constellations, and as such can be a valuable resource for studying their early development. The globe places the celestial fi gures against a grid of circles (including the celestial equator, the tropics, the colures, the ecliptic, the Arctic Circle, and the Antarctic Circle) that allows for the accurate positioning of the constellations. The positions shift with time due to precession, so the observed positions on the Farnese Atlas correspond to some particular date. Also, the declination of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles will correspond to a particular latitude for the observer whose observations were adopted by the sculptor. Thus, a detailed analysis of the globe will reveal the latitude and epoch for the observations incorporated in the Atlas; and indeed these will specify enough information that we can identify the observer. Independently, a detailed comparison of the constellation symbols on the Atlas with those from the other surviving ancient material also uniquely points to the same origin for the fi gures. The Farnese Atlas1 fi rst came to modern attention in the early sixteenth century when it became part of the collection of antiquities in the Farnese Palace in Rome, hence its name.
